Houser A-arms, and Elka Shock INSTALLATION

[Holty]

I'll be installing my new arms and shocks saturday morning. Any tips or tricks I should know about? Is the installation gonna be straight forward or a pain in the ***? also, my stock brake lines will work correct? thanks guys.

Yes your stock brake lines will work. I just got dont putting on my burgard +2 a arms. The only problem i have with them was tighting ball joints on the spindle. I had to have some one put presser on the joint but thats burgard a arms. Also what kind of elka shocks are you getting?

You will need a 5" c clamp to do it on the lower a arm. Once you start threading on the nylock nut, the ball joint shaft will start spinning. You will see what I mean once you start.

You can also use a pair of the needle nose type vise grips to hold the ball joint while you tighten the nut. Make sure you take the time to get your bottom ball joints even before you drop it into the spindle. You are supposed to thread them all the way in but I would still measure it. It's mostly self explainitory though. :p

install was fairly simple, unlike everything else i've done to this bike. this install actually went pretty smooth. I haven't got to ride on them yet, that will come tomorrow.
